the only part of changing your name in the UK that will cost you any money is renewing your passport, which costs money anyway. literally just go to freedeedpoll.org and show it to any institutions that need proof of a name change (you may have to be a bit insistent about it)

sorry to be basic but it is Spirited Away, I just love every part of it
In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

ENRAGED by Taskmaster spreading misinformation about changing your name.

CHANGING YOUR NAME IN THE UK IS FREE. IT IS FREE. ANY COMPANY PURPOTING TO DO IT "OFFICIALLY" FOR A FEE IS A SCAM.

you can change your name in the UK FOR FREE and you can do it as many times as you want.

this is irresponsible reporting. a neural network can't comment on why it produced CSAM. a neural network can't be held answerable for generating CSAM. accountability lies within the fascist ceo and the team willing to work for him

3. That American Exceptionalism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: sovereignty is a legal structure that protects the U.S. from foreign intervention but does not bind the U.S. from intervening in the internal affairs of other nations. The U.S. is the sole nation possessing sovereignty.

It rules so hard that this interview got big enough for the NYT to try to do firefighting and that Trans News Network said fuck off we don't owe you column space.
We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

No “transgender woman (a biological male who identifies as a woman)”?

Does the style guide not apply to cis women? Are your readers only confused when it’s actual real trans women being spoken about?
